Hey, ich bin Mirkan, 20 Jahre alt und seit meiner Geburt ein Rollstuhlfahrer. Nun bin ich vor knapp sechs Monaten aus meinem Elternhaus ausgezogen und wohne in meiner ersten eigenen Wohnung mit Assistenz. Ich studiere in Düsseldorf Medien-und Kulturwissenschaften an der Heinrich Heine Universität und möchte hier meinen Abschluss machen. Leider stoße ich auf dem Universitätsgelände auf viele bauliche Hindernisse: Treppen, Aufzüge, die nicht funktionieren und manchmal ist es auch meine Spastik, die auch mir sagt, dass es nicht weitergeht. Ich würde so gerne barrierefrei rausgehen und erreichen, ohne mir Gedanken machen zu müssen. Einfach mal Studieren ohne Barrieren. Gerne würde ich auch mal mit meinen Mitstudenten Kaffee trinken gehen, ohne mir im Vorfeld den Kopf darüber zu zerbrechen, ob es dort rollstuhlgerecht ist oder nicht. All das sind Barrieren die mittlerweile mit Hilfsmitteln überwunden werden können.
Zum Beispiel mit dem Scewo Bro, einem Rollstuhl, der unter anderem auch Treppen steigen kann.
Freunde treffen , soziale Kontakte pflegen oder einfach mal über den Unicampus düsen, wäre dann kein Hindernis mehr und ich könnte das ohne Schmerzen tun, weil der Scewo Bro wesentlich komfortabler ist, als ein "normaler" Rollstuhl und ich die unebenen und zum Teil nur schlechten Wege auf dem Universitätsgelände dann ohne Schmerzen - ich leide unter einer spastischen diplegischen Zelebralparese und massiver Fehlstellung
der Wirbelsäule - und erschütterungsfrei befahren könnte.
Hier gehts zur
Probefahrt mit dem Scewo an der Uni
Ein weiterer Vorteil des Scewo Bro ist die elektrische Höhenverstellung. Der integrierte Sitzlift ermöglicht es dem Nutzer, auch Küchenhängeschränke oder höhere Bücherregale - zum Beispiel in der Unibibliothek - zu erreichen.
Für mich besonders wichtig: ich könnte dann endlich mit meinem Gegenüber "auf Augenhöhe" kommunizieren.
Es gibt allerdings ein Problem: Ich kann mir diesen Rollstuhl nicht leisten.

Auf einen Kaffee mit... Mirkan Mohr~ Interview

English:
Hey, I'm Mirkan, 20 years old and I've been a wheelchair user since I was born. I moved out of my parents' house almost six months ago and now live in my first apartment with assistance. I'm studying media and cultural studies at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and would like to graduate here. Unfortunately, I encounter many structural obstacles on the university campus: Stairs, elevators that don't work and sometimes it's also my spasticity that tells me that I can't go any further. I would love to be able to go out and about without barriers and without having to worry. Just study without barriers. I'd also like to go for a coffee with my fellow students without worrying about whether it's wheelchair accessible or not. These are all barriers that can now be overcome with aids.
For example, with the Scewo Bro, a wheelchair that can climb stairs, among other things.
Meeting friends, socializing or simply jetting around the university campus would then no longer be an obstacle and I could do this without pain because the Scewo Bro is much more comfortable than a "normal" wheelchair and I could then negotiate the uneven and sometimes poor paths on the university campus without pain - I suffer from spastic diplegic cerebral palsy and massive spinal deformity - and shaking spine - and without vibration.
Another advantage of the Scewo Bro is the electric height adjustment. The integrated seat lift enables the user to reach kitchen wall units or higher bookshelves - for example in the university library.
Particularly important for me: I could finally communicate with my counterpart "at eye level".
However, there is one problem: I can't afford this wheelchair.

Türkçe:
Merhaba, ben Mirkan, 20 yaşındayım ve doğduğumdan beri tekerlekli sandalye kullanıyorum. Yaklaşık altı ay önce ailemin evinden taşındım ve şimdi bir asistanla birlikte ilk kendi dairemde yaşıyorum. Düsseldorf'taki Heinrich Heine Üniversitesi'nde medya ve kültürel çalışmalar okuyorum ve buradan mezun olmak istiyorum. Ne yazık ki üniversite kampüsünde birçok yapısal engelle karşılaşıyorum: Merdivenler, çalışmayan asansörler ve bazen de spastisitem daha fazla ilerleyemeyeceğimi söylüyor. Engeller olmadan ve endişelenmek zorunda kalmadan dışarı çıkabilmeyi çok isterdim. Engelsiz bir şekilde çalışmak. Ayrıca tekerlekli sandalyeye uygun olup olmadığı konusunda önceden endişelenmeden öğrenci arkadaşlarımla kahve içmeye gitmek isterdim. Bunların hepsi artık yardımlarla aşılabilecek engeller.
Örneğin Scewo Bro, diğer şeylerin yanı sıra merdiven çıkabilen bir tekerlekli sandalye.
Arkadaşlarımla buluşmak, sosyalleşmek ya da üniversite kampüsünde dolaşmak artık bir engel olmaktan çıkacak ve Scewo Bro "normal" bir tekerlekli sandalyeden çok daha rahat olduğu için bunu acı çekmeden yapabileceğim ve üniversite kampüsündeki engebeli ve bazen kötü yolları acı çekmeden - spastik diplejik serebral palsi ve omurgada büyük bir yanlış hizalanmadan muzdaribim - ve sarsılmadan geçebileceğim.
ve titreşim olmadan.
Scewo Bro'nun bir diğer avantajı da elektrikli yükseklik ayarıdır. Entegre koltuk asansörü, kullanıcının mutfak duvar ünitelerine veya daha yüksek kitap raflarına ulaşmasını sağlar - örneğin üniversite kütüphanesinde.
Benim için özellikle önemli: Sonunda muhatabımla "göz hizasında" iletişim kurabiliyorum.
Ancak bir sorun var: Bu tekerlekli sandalyeye param yetmiyor.
